~8 min read 1,454 words

Lu Xiaofeng looked steadily at Gu Qing.

If Gu Qing had shown a heroic spirit at this time, patting his chest and guaranteeing, "I will protect Miss Xue," or "This matter is my duty," Lu Xiaofeng would definitely have agreed. But with Gu Qing winking like this, obviously wanting Lu Xiaofeng to entrust Xue Bing to him, Lu Xiaofeng was instead worried.

Lu Xiaofeng turned his head, looked at Xue Bing, whose face was red, and then looked at Gu Qing, saying, "You don't have any ideas about Xue Bing, do you?"

"Oh, am I the kind of person who would make a move on a friend's woman?"

Gu Qing looked troubled and said, "I'm taking a risk with this matter. You, Lu Xiaofeng, have offended so many people. Once you leave, others will come to seek revenge. Won't I have to deal with it?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head. If it came to offending people, Lu Xiaofeng felt he was far inferior to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was a person who didn't care about right or wrong and offended everyone equally. Lu Xiaofeng believed that if Gu Qing's fists were even slightly softer, the people looking for trouble with him now could line up in a long queue.

"Impossible, I will not entrust Xue Bing to you!"

Lu Xiaofeng said decisively.

A demoness like Shangguan Feiyan was obedient beside Gu Qing; if Xue Bing went to Gu Qing's side, who knew what she would become.

"Xue Bing is in danger following you."

Gu Qing said.

The Gu System World was sometimes too cruel. Lu Xiaofeng trusted his friends, but these friends turned bad one by one, which led to Lu Xiaofeng misplacing his trust in friends.

Jin Jiuling was the most capable divine catcher of the Six Doors in three hundred years; his corruption caught Lu Xiaofeng off guard. The Snake King was also one of Lu Xiaofeng's most trusted friends; his betrayal also pierced Lu Xiaofeng's heart. And this double betrayal combined led to Xue Bing's tragic end.

Gu Qing asking Lu Xiaofeng to entrust her to him was also to save Xue Bing.

"Thank you!"

Lu Xiaofeng said calmly, "My enemies are always fewer than yours, and my friends are always more than yours." After saying this, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Xue Bing and they smiled at each other.

At this moment, a drunken person walked up, arrived at Lu Xiaofeng's side, hooked Lu Xiaofeng's neck, smiled at him, and said, "I know you, you are Lu Xiaofeng."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Gu Qing, smiled proudly, indicating that this was his friend, and said, "This is Sun Zhong, a very famous Jianghu person."

Gu Qing nodded.

Sun Zhong, however, looked at Xue Bing at this time and said to Lu Xiaofeng, "The female companion you brought is really quite lively; you can squeeze water out of her just by pinching."

Lu Xiaofeng's body stiffened slightly upon hearing this. It turned out that this friend of his had come for Xue Bing.

Gu Qing held back his laughter, watching Lu Xiaofeng being hooked by the neck by this Sun Zhong, while his eyes were fixed on Xue Bing, talking incessantly, wanting to hook Xue Bing away, until finally, Sun Zhong boldly reached out to grab Xue Bing's hand.

"Swish!"

A flash of a blade, and Sun Zhong's hand fell to the ground.

Lu Xiaofeng tightened his face, about to educate Xue Bing not to use a blade casually, when he saw Gu Qing beside him supporting his head with one hand, unable to hold back his laughter.

"Lu Xiaofeng, this friend of yours is really not bad."

Gu Qing laughed.

"This one is not my friend!"

Lu Xiaofeng pushed Sun Zhong away and said sternly, "Sun Zhong and I have only met once at a birthday banquet and had a meal together."

If having a meal together counted as being friends, his friends would be all over the world!

Some of Sun Zhong's friends also came forward. Upon learning that Lu Xiaofeng was sitting at this table, they pulled Sun Zhong back. The severed hand was thrown on the ground, and no one paid any attention to it.

"In short, I will not let Xue Bing go with you."

Lu Xiaofeng insisted after calming his emotions.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing sighed for Lu Xiaofeng and said, "People can only grow through loss. Refusing to grow like this makes it easy to become a giant baby."

Refusing to grow? A giant baby?

Sikong Zhaixing couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this crooked logic. Xue Bing on the side was also laughing until she trembled, only Lu Xiaofeng had a straight face.

"If you do this again, you will lose my friendship."

Lu Xiaofeng said angrily.

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "I'm telling you serious logic, why don't you believe it?"

Yang Guo had been ripened by Gu Qing and had already become an emperor.

Lu Xiaofeng sneered and drank with Sikong Zhaixing on his own. Xue Bing watched with a smile on the side; she liked watching men drink. As for Gu Qing, he was calm at this time, eating some dried fruits, watching Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing compete in acting.

The two of them pulled at each other until midnight, playing tricks on each other, both cherishing each other. Suddenly, Sikong Zhaixing collapsed to the ground with a purple face, slowly reaching out his hand, looking like he was about to die.

"Sikong Zhaixing, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly held Sikong Zhaixing.

"Qixia Nunnery..."

Sikong Zhaixing seemed to be saying his last words.

"Okay, I'll take you to Qixia Nunnery with Xue Bing right now!"

Lu Xiaofeng felt that life was at stake and immediately went to Xue Bing's room, only to see that the room was empty, and a note was left on the table in Gu Qing's handwriting.

"Lu Xiaofeng, you shouldn't refuse to grow."

Gu Qing had already taken Xue Bing away.

"Bastard!"

Lu Xiaofeng cursed, turned back first, found a carriage, and took Sikong Zhaixing to Qixia Nunnery.

Life was at stake, Xue Bing's matter could only be put aside for now.

Wuyang City.

In this place, red trees were like fire, and the bluestone roads were very different from the fireworks of Jiangnan.

Gu Qing and Xue Bing walked side by side on this street. Xue Bing couldn't help but ask, "You said you could clear the Red Shoes of their grievances, is that true?"

Xue Bing was also a Red Shoe, in the same organization as Shangguan Feiyan. In Xue Bing's view, the red satin in Lu Xiaofeng's hand pointed to the Red Shoes. When Gu Qing entered her room at night and said he could take Xue Bing to solve the injustice, Xue Bing followed Gu Qing.

"Of course."

Gu Qing said, "I wouldn't lie to you for such a small matter."

"You'd better not lie to me."

Xue Bing hummed, looked at Wuyang City, and said, "So this is Wuyang City. I know there is some good food in Wuyang City."

Xue Bing was dressed in snow-white and had long wanted to eat Cantonese food.

"Don't be in a hurry yet."

Gu Qing stopped Xue Bing and said, "I'll let you eat Cantonese food to your heart's content in a while. For now, follow me to collect a debt."

Collect a debt?

Xue Bing watched Gu Qing walk towards the street and head towards a female butcher. Seeing this, Xue Bing's heart immediately rose.

Gongsun Daniang traveled the Jianghu with countless disguises, each leaving many legends in the Jianghu, such as the Peach Blossom Bee, the Five Poison Lady, the Soul-Stealing Granny, and Granny Xiong was just one of them. The female butcher Gu Qing was walking towards now was another disguise of Gongsun Daniang.

"Guest..."

Gongsun Daniang's voice was hoarse.

On the way to Wuyang City, Xue Bing had secretly contacted Gongsun Daniang and told her about Gu Qing, which was why Gongsun Daniang had come here. Now, seeing Gu Qing heading straight for her, Gongsun Daniang's heart rose.

After Shangguan Feiyan got the Green Clothes Building, she became disobedient and had thoughts of betrayal. Now there were also traitors in the Red Shoes organization. Gu Qing could walk straight to her; did this mean Xue Bing had also betrayed her?

Gongsun Daniang felt a third betrayal.

"Hehe..."

Gu Qing looked at Gongsun Daniang's disguised appearance, tapped on the table, and shouted, "Collect the debt!"

When they were in Shanxi, Gu Qing ate sugar-roasted chestnuts and won the bet, but Gongsun Daniang turned and ran away.

This time she couldn't run.
